FAQs

Common questions.

Here’s what people ask us the most. 

There are several ways to finance your renovation, depending on your project size, budget and financial goals. Options include using a credit card for smaller purchases, a personal loan for a fixed amount with regular payments, a line of credit for flexible access to funds or using your home equity through options like the Home Plus Plan or refinancing. A Conexus Advisor can help you choose the option that best fits your needs. 

A personal loan may be a good fit if you know exactly how much you need and prefer predictable payments over a set term. A line of credit offers more flexibility, allowing you to borrow funds as needed and pay interest only on the amount you use. The right option depends on your renovation plans, repayment preferences and financial situation. 

Yes. If you have built equity in your home, options like the Conexus Home Plus Plan or mortgage refinancing may help you access funds for renovations. The Home Plus Plan allows eligible homeowners to borrow against their home’s value, while refinancing replaces your current mortgage with a new one that may include additional funds. Approval is based on your financial situation and lending criteria. 

For larger renovation projects, options like the Home Plus Plan, refinancing or a Purchase Plus Improvements Plan may provide access to more funds and longer repayment periods. The best option depends on whether you already own your home, how much equity you have and the size of your project. A Conexus Advisor can help you explore your options.
